<para>The <emphasis>Revision Control System</emphasis>
(<acronym>RCS</acronym>) is one of the oldest software suites
that implement <quote>revision control</quote> for plain
files. It allows the storage, retrieval, archival, logging,
identification and merging of multiple revisions for each
file. RCS consists of many small tools that work together.
It lacks some of the features found in more modern revision
control systems, like CVS or Subversion, but it is very simple
to install, configure, and start using for a small set of
files. Implementations of RCS can be found on every major
UNIX-like OS.</para>
